English is an independent language that does not rely on Chinese
to exist. Therefore, any natural born Chinese who studies English
must bear in mind that they should sooner or later stop seeking
translation but directly understand new words from English
explanation. To build English to English mindset, the Chinese
students must stop using English-Chinese dictionary and replace it
with English-English dictionary. In addition, when it comes to
puzzles, they should consult English grammar books written in
English not in Chinese. Thus, their mental process will be
continuous in English and not to be interrupted or interfered by
Chinese. In otherwords, keep the confusion in English. The bottom
line is: let English be English, and let Chinese be Chinese.
